Dream Week

Stayed Feb 2026

My party consisted of 16 people and I can't express just how much everyone raved about Costa Rica, our stunning accommodations, and the level of service that removed any need to lift a finger. Our host, David, was super attentive and dependable whenever my group had a want or need. He was always very quick to respond and helped us navigate all of our travel needs, as well as answer questions about both the villa and surrounding area. Our chef also was very friendly and routinely outperformed in the kitchen, leaving everyone more than happy (and full) after each meal. The housekeepers were terrific, keeping the accommodations spotless, and even providing laundry service twice during the week. The whole operation truly was highly professional and courteous from beginning to end.

This house is incredible, it’s your own little resort. Absolutely stunning views, each room is amazing, and fantastic for a group. The cleaning staff is so on top of it, it feels like a five star hotel. Do not miss booking Junior and Janet for your chef. I cannot recommend enough how amazing they are. Don’t be a gringo and tell Junior you want to eat whatever is fresh and local and he will not disappoint. We had some gluten sensitivities and they were amazing at accommodating. David the house manager is very responsive, we had a group of 18 and I’m sure it was like herding cats with all the requests. Absolutely would go back.
